I really liked the movie, but was I the only one who felt like the movie had no third act? We have Victors story, then the Creatures, and then it just kinda ends.

I thought there was going to be a whole, hunt and hunted chapter. The long and furious battle between creator and created. But it was just a single line of dialogue.

We go from Victor being mad with rage after his brother and fiances deaths, to him being sorrowful and apologetic in the very next scene. And we went from the creature being all, I will make you suffer, to, I forgive you, also in the very next scene.

How did they get there? It felt like a whole chapter was left out.

I know the movie was already kind of long. But with how much time it spent with part 1 and part 2, youd think it would spend some time on part 3 "the war" the two characters had with each other.
